Reviews

"Highly Recommended." --CHOICE


"In his timely new book, 'The Heart of the Constitution, ' Gerard N. Magliocca highlights how a key component of our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, has been a central touchstone for Americans throughout history....Now, as we face a new set of crises, from war to inequality to structural exclusion, a more dynamic debate over a 21st-century bill of rights might offer some avenues forward. Magliocca's book can help us start that debate."--K. Sabeel Rahman, The Washington Post


"Magliocca provides fascinating insight into the origin and evolution of the Bill of Rights."--Lynne Maxwell, Library Journal


"Magliocca aims at a diligent readership: his diction is serious, often academic, and resolutely unbiased, and the narrative is definitive."--Kirkus Reviews
